Type designers, letterers, calligraphers, why do you do what you do?
— Dave Foster (@fostertype) April 9, 2015
@fostertype because it feels fine.

@fostertype Because I wanna be rich & famo… wait, what?

@fostertype No other marketable skills.

@fostertype I'm learning type design because I enjoy it, I think it helps me be a better designer, it's currently very personal work

@fostertype I just can't skate.

@fostertype Unusually high tolerance for repetitive tasks.

@fostertype I get an enormous amount of satisfaction from it. It rubs me the right way.

@commercialtype @fostertype get a certain tingle when I look at nice curves, if you'll excuse the unintended double entendre. (hur hur)

@fostertype Is what I like to do since I was very young... But I can cook Risottos too.

@commercialtype @fostertype Seemed like a good idea at the time! That and having an obsessive compulsion for detail
— Rob Clarke (@RobClarkeType) April 9, 2015
@commercialtype @fostertype I wonder if that only applies to type design. Can you take other repetitive job?

@fostertype I’ve never been a spontaneous-expression-of-art kinda guy. I like to do things the slow, hard, stupid way.

@fostertype I just can't don't do it. And I try...

@fostertype how do you know Im doing what I do?
— Frederik Berlaen (@typemytype) April 9, 2015
@fostertype an undefinable compulsion mixed with the idea that I like to make pretty things ;-)
— Neil Summerour (@positype) April 9, 2015
@fostertype it's like doing a puzzle without the box: an adventurous + creative route to a solution. I love challenges (& making pretty).
